The volume of a rectangular prism is (length) x (width) x (height).
The volume of the big one is (2.25) x (1.5) x (1.5) = <em>5.0625 cubic inches</em>.
The volume of the little one is (0.25)x(0.25)x(0.25)= 0.015625 cubic inch
The number of little ones needed to fill the big one is
(Volume of the big one) divided by (volume of the little one) .
5.0625 / 0.015625 = <em>324 tiny cubies</em>
=================================================
Doing it with fractions instead of decimals:
The volume of a rectangular prism is (length) x (width) x (height).
Dimensions of the big one are:
2-1/4 = 9/4
1-1/2 = 3/2
1-1/2 = 3/2
Volume = (9/4) x (3/2) x (3/2) =
(9 x 3 x 3) / (4 x 2 x 2) =
81 / 16 cubic inches.
As a mixed number: 81/16 = <em>5-1/16 cubic inches</em>
Volume of the tiny cubie = (1/4) x (1/4) x (1/4) = 1/64 cubic inch.
The number of little ones needed to fill the big one is
(Volume of the big one) divided by (volume of the little one) .
(81/16) divided by (1/64) =
(81/16) times (64/1) =
5,184/16 = <em>324 tiny cubies</em>.
I'm confused is the x a × symbol or the letter x?
The general equation of second degree is
Ax²+By²+Gx+Fy+C=0 ------1
Now the given conditions are
A=1, B=0, C=0
Now,
putting in eq. 1
x²+Gx+Fy=0
x²+Gx= -Fy
For completing square, add both side (G/2)²
x²+Gx+(G/2)²=-Fy+(G/2)²
(x+G/2)²=-F(y-G²/4F)
Or
X²=-FY where X=x+G/2, Y=y-G²/4F
which is the standard eq. of parabola in XY-coordinate.
Let the necessary amount of water be x. Then (1.00)(1 gallon antifreeze) = 0.40(x+1 gallon), or 1 = .40x + .40. Combining like terms: 0.60 = 0.40x.
Then x = 0.60 / 0.40 = 1.5.
Adding 1.5 gallons of water to that 1 gallon of pure antifreeze results in 2.5 gallons of 40% antifreeze.
Tiger shark:
2240 miles in 28 days = 80 miles/day
GW shark:
2368 miles in 32 days = 74 miles/day
80 miles/day x 32 days = 2560 miles the Tiger shark would have traveled
2560-2368 = 192
If the tiger shark had traveled at the same rate for 32 days, the tiger shark would have traveled 192 miles more than the great white shark
